Last night an extra meeting of the free and in dependent Electors of the ancient town of GAtt- RAT was held for the express purpose of offering the Representation of that independent Borough to Hesuy HUNT, Esq. An extremely warm de bate took place, in which the merits of this person were distinctly stated, and his fitness strongly urged. He was also considered as every way eli gible, from his declared attachment to Universal Stiffrage, a right exclusively enjoyed by the Elec tors of Garrat. Some doubts were started as to the question, whether he had obtained the free dont of the place, while some declared his compe tency, as he resided at Middleton Cottage, near Hand-oree. Notwithstanding the harangues of his friends, the Doctor apd the Apothecary, who both declared, on their honour, that they knew he had taken tip his freedom, it was carried by a ma jotit s; of three to one, that " HENRY Hu NT, from the statements of his being infected with the while feather malady, was not a fit and proper person for the Electors to repose any confidence in, and therefore utterly unfit to have the distinguished honour conferred on him of representing such nu merous and highly respectable individuals as the free and independent Electors of GARRAT." COVENTRY ELECTION. FOR THE SUN. EDITOR, --A, paragraph having appear ed in your Paper, reflecting on the conduct of the inhabitants of Coventry during the late Election of Members to serve in Parliatnent for that ancient City, I have by this post transmitted the last number of the Coventry Mercury (the Editors of which Paper, unconnected with either party, have for very many years been proverbial for loyalty to their King and attachment to the Constitution), giving a very detailed account of the proceedings at the Election ; and I beg leave to draw your attention to the concluding remarks, by which you will find '' that never at airy former period was a contest carried on between the par ties with a greater regard to peace and good order, and the whole has been conducted in a manner highly honourable to the. Citizens of Coventry ;" to which I shall only add, that the City is now as calm and quiet as if no Election had occurred for many years, and all parties are as sociable anti friendly as if no difference of opinion had existed during the rontest.—Trusting your known can dour and impartiality will indnce you in some wav to correct or explain your late mis-statetuent, I am Coventry, June 30. A LOVER OF TRUTH. CARLISLE ELECTION. The Election for two members to represent the City of Carlisle began on Friday, and ended on Saturday. At the final close of the poll, the nun►- hers were—for John Christian Curwen. Esq. 250 ; Sir James Graham, JLirt. 225 ; Joseph IVilfrid Parkins, Esq. 49. Upon which, Mr. Curwen and Sir James (the late members), were, of course, declared duly elected. While this election lasted, it afforded a tolerable cairn terpart to the Westminster drollery. Mr. Parkins, though it appears by the state of the poll hut little in favour with the freemen, was the idol of the n►oh,, a►id' kept the hustings in a roar by his eccentric speeches and conduct. At the close how ever, the Spa-Field spirit broke forth, and the universal suffrage men and reformers attacked Sir JAMES GRAHAM with great fury, tore the Chair which was brought for him to pieces in the and pursued him to the Bush Inn, the windows of /which they broke, while. Sir JAmws was glad to escape the back way. They then procured an other chair, and carried 111 r. PAkKINS in triumph round the city. • . t is much to be regrettea thit .the Managing Committee of Drury-lane Theatre did not ma nage better than to engage Ews.Tom so late in the season. He is deservedly in high favour, not only with the Public in general, but particularly will.) persons of high rank, and may be truly s a id to be still i n the m er idi an of his powers. We hope to see him fixed in his former position next season, as we are persuaded that his versatility and solid merit may bid .defiance , to the facina- G m , o f nove lty, and essentially contribute to re• vire the attraction of Old Drury. 1' OV, T Y.
